What's Eating Gilbert Grape

In the claustrophobic confines of a small Midwestern town, Gilbert Grape (Johnny Depp) navigates a life burdened by familial obligations, caring for his obese, housebound mother and his trouble-prone younger brother, Arnie. Amidst this quotidian struggle, Gilbert’s affair with the local woman Betty Carver (Darlene Cates) offers a fleeting respite, until the arrival of the free-spirited Becky (Juliette Lewis) disrupts the stasis, stirring dormant desires and awakening a sense of possibility that threatens to upend his carefully balanced existence.
